  • Ruben Selles reacts

    When speaking to Sky Sports, the Southampton boss said: “I think from the very beginning we showed we are going to press high and sometimes it is hard to play against teams such as Arsenal and City as they have quality.

    “We showed character and we showed what we can do we are proud of the work ethic and that is the way we need to follow from now.

    “That’s two points dropped, but from me we showed something. For me it also two points dropped, but it is very hard here. I told them they did a fantastic job and we need to continue.”

    “We have been feeling that it is there we didn’t get what we wanted in the game and last three games we have done really good I think we need that to show what we can do it. We need the momentum.”

  • James Ward-Prowse reacts

    When speaking to Sky Sports, the Southampton midfielder said: “A great game to play and incredible atmosphere and you can definitely feel the positive feeling here.

    “We took our chances really well and we knew they’d come on in the second-half. It’s a good point to come here, but we are disappointed not to take all three.

    “It’s a massive blow, but we have to take a lot of positives from it and I was surprised to see eight minutes at the end, a strange amount to be added on. But we have to defend better.

    “We lost our identity a bit and Ruben has definitely got that back on track with the high aggressive press. I think we tired towards the end and we came up against a world-class side.”

    “We need to follow it up with good performance and good results. We always get good points against the so called good teams but need to follow it up in following games.”

    “There here is still a lot of football. We’ve got to keep believing.”

  • Mikel Arteta reacts

    When speaking to Sky Sports, the Arsenal boss said: “Obviously unhappy with the result.

    “We made it very difficult again for ourselves but mistakes are part of football but the way we reacted I love my players more than ever.

    “It is incredible, we were on the way back, we conceded again with a sloppy goal but in the end we should have won the game. We created enough chances and opportunities but it didn’t happen and we are disappointed.

    “You can’t concede three goals in this league, if you concede three like we did in a sloppy way it is very difficult to win matches.

    “This young team reacts in a way that is incredible, when it is against the odds but the chances they created and the spirit they had it was a joy to watch. The message is clear that I love them.

    “We are down and they are more willing than anybody to win it. You can see that spirit and fight in the dressing room but it is clear we have to do defensively things better.”

  • Gabriel Jesus reacts

    When speaking to Sky Sports, the Arsenal striker said: “A lot of things is going on now.

    “We don’t want to come here and talk negative because we are very positive, what we are doing this season is amazing. The Premier League is tough.

    “Now is the difficult moment. It is time now to stick together until the end. We still have a lot of things to do this season, it is not over, we are still five points clear.

    “Manchester City have two games in hand but if we want to be champions we have to go there to win the game – that is all.

    “We are the youngest team in the league, not making excuses. Sometimes we do right and sometimes we do wrong, everyone can make mistakes that is why it is so important to stick together.

    “Everything can happen. Obviously we are not happy with the last three games, we dropped points and we know this is true, no one has to tell us.

    “We dropped a little bit of our level and focus, this is the Premier League, it is so difficult to win this competition.

    “We are still there, we are still fighting and we will fight until the end.”
